Habitat: Where does it grow? Eg. woods, pasture, state, province, country, altitude, etc.
Found on a small hill next to a road in upstate new york. Growing out of the ground.
Gills: white attached gills that I believe stop just before the stem
Stem: About 5 inches long. About an 1-1.5 inched thick. White in color. No ring.
Cap:
About 7 inches across. Yellow, smooth, concave at late maturity.
Spore print color: It's by my house so I didn't pick it for a sample
Bruising: Didn't test
Pics included.

It likely has the same toxins as Amanita muscaria, but a picture showing the carefully dug up stem base would be helpful for identification. Those toxins do have psychoactive effects, but they are not psychedelic and most people find the experience unpleasant.

At this stage of growth it will probably be rotting in a couple of days.

I hate to split hairs, but the effects of Amanita muscaria are dissociative which would classify them as having psychedelic properties. I don't mean to take away from your point though about them having very different effects from what he may be looking for.

Psychedelics and dissociative are considered different categories I thought.
I mean would you consider ketamine to be psychedelic?
Not that it really matters. I just thought that was the general consenus.

I've always known dissociatives as being psychedelic, thought maybe I was mistaken but I've checked a half dozen sources that all say the same.
I've had pretty vivid "hallucinations" from ketamine, especially in big doses so I would certainly say it has psychedelic or at least hallucinogenic effects. I don't feel my experience is unique either. What is your definition of psychedelic?

Yeah I guess it could be argued both ways. Not sure where I was going with that.
